Because you are a subject, and not a citizen, you do not clearly grasp what a right is.
A right is not granted by a government. It came from God, and is unalienable. The Second Amendment is a restriction on what government can do. Not the other way around. The exact wording, “Shall not be infringed” is pretty damn hard to get around.
From where you sit, it basically means if I want a Brown Bess, an AR, a Colt revolver, or, any combination of, or, none of the above, it is my business, and most certainly not the government’s.
What you think of any of the above is unimportant and irrelevant.
Best,
Ted
